11.03.17 Update
An awesome testimony of God's love for us, His healing powers, of
the reality of hell and our need to cooperate with God, of big
events looming on the horizon with the promise of a huge (greater
than in the times of Moses) good ending better than any
movie. http://spiritdaily.org/blog/afterlife/a-muslim-taxi-driver-converts-at-medjugorjeYou are being called to share this news
with as many people as you can.

Just added to the OneStepOnTheWater page :
http://yowusa.com/2017/10/uk-ophelia-day/
A lot to absorb and pray on in the next pages. I report this,
knowing it will put fear into hearts (which I guess now is
necessary), but do so to encourage people to prepare spiritually and
physically; to know what is happening and that it has been
prophesied, and that there is protection in the Blood of
Jesus. What would you do if there was a great celestial event
that caused 3 days of darkness? Would you know that you are to
gather your family, close all your doors, pull all the shades, do
not look outside and not to venture outside because of certain
death? ...similar to the Passover. That evil will fill the
darkness and possibly call out to you through your doors in familiar
voices trying to get you to open the door? Saints
have been prophesying this for centuries. Now is the time to
research this and prepare because the one thing that could cause of
lot of these bizarre events is Planet X. Posted on
http://yowusa.com/2017/10/uk-ophelia-day/
are pictures of the Planet X system from the UK after Hurricane
Ophelia.

Here is an interesting prophecy. Plus, read the following
comments which describe confirming prophecy with links to all the
associated events: the three days of darkness, pole shifts,
disturbances in the sun and the effects on earth, etc.https://z3news.com/w/world-wearing-explained-science/

Reading the comments I felt these two links express what I've
learned over the years about the times we are heading into:
http://soundthealarm-wp.weebly.com/
and this link which I posted several years ago but now, with Nibiru
peaking out behind the sun, sounds more timely:
https://newbon-bonsblog.blogspot.com/ where the visionary
in-part hears from the Lord:

The darkness will descend within 3
days of this cosmic event appearing.The darkness will commence with the
earthquake.That
is why it is important for you to be inside and remain in your
homes.Like the
Children of Israel who were protected when the Angel of Death
passed over and saw the blood on the door posts, so all My
children will be protected by the blood of the Lamb on your
foreheads.You
are sealed by My blood and My Bride will be protected, no matter
what is happening outside of your dwellings.

You are to
close your doors and windows, draw your curtains and pray
together.During
this time I will reveal Myself to each and every one of you.Those who are already
Mine will be infused with the Holy Spirit and will be transformed.Those who are not yet
Mine will be given the opportunity to receive Me as their Lord and
Saviour.
Here is a good prayer you should print out for these times:
http://spiritdaily.com/homeprotectionprayer.htm

“The world is wearing out and you are about
to see things that cannot be explained by science.”

https://z3news.com/w/author/krista-wells/

Yesterday, I was just starting to watch a documentary called
“Chasing Coral” about the changing ocean when the Lord had me sit
down to write this word.

“Little one, they call it climate
change, but do not be deceived by labels. My seas are showing
signs of the end of the age. The plants and animals are dying as a
wake up call! I have sent these signs as a warning.

My people must repent and humble
themselves before Me before it is too late! The oceans will never
again be a place teeming with animals and income. The world is
wearing out and you are about to see things that cannot be
explained by science. The scientists are befuddled because they
seek to explain the Earth without Me! They do not have eyes to see
or ears to hear, so they remain in a constant state of wonderment.
They shall remain this way until the end of the age!

No longer will patterns be apparent.
The Earth is set to reel on its axis. The heavens will be shaken
and the tides will change. The ocean will be a source of great
fear and destruction. The coast lands will no longer be a refuge.
Those near the sea, listen to My voice! I AM the only refuge and
peace in the days to come. Move where I say move. Stay where I say
stay.

I have loved you with an everlasting
love. It is not My desire that any of My people should perish, but
that they should repent from their evil ways and live. SOUND THE
WARNING, WATCHMAN!

Scripture References:

There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth,
nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and
tossing of the sea. – Luke 21:25

The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls–never
to rise again. – Isaiah 24:20

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the
heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a
garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will
last forever, my righteousness will never fail. – Isaiah 51:6

People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on
the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. – Luke 21:26

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you
with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing
kindness.” – Jeremiah 31:3

Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I
take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they
turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why
will you die, people of Israel?’ – Ezekiel 33:11

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to
perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9

continuation from a page down
A rare alignment that will be seen in the sky September 2017 is
also the Fulfillment of woman clothed in the Sun written of in
Revelation in the bible, an alignment that has not
happened since the birth of Christ. See http://planetxnews.com/2016/01/24/the-revelation-sign-of-planet-x-in-2017/
for an explanation of the alignment. Then for further
happenings in the sky that will bring about the end of these days
(the reign of Satan). This site describes the September 23,
2017 event very well but then proceeds to claim that Planet X will
eclipse the sun on October 5, 2017 which I cannot comprehend with
how slowly this Planet X thing is transpiring (I've been reporting
on it since 1999). I'm more along the thought process
that this will be a slow train wreck with God giving us time between
each event to repent and convert those around us. That once
things begin to happen we will have the 7 year tribulation maybe
shortened to 3.5 years. I'm also hoping that if Medjugorje is
a true apparition site that the visionaries there will begin
releasing the secrets as these events unfold. Rick Wyles from
Trunews.com, whom I trust, says the Lord told him his ministry would
run to 2030. But don't forget this is a Jubilee Year for
Israel so I am expecting something big to happen for them during
their Jewish year.

See: http://yowusa.com/2017/06/the-nemesis-cloud/ where
Marshall Masters explains that a brown dwarf sun and its planets are
entering our solar system and are being witnessed. Pictures
are included. The effects on earth will likely bring about the
fulfillment of prophecies from Revelation, Garabandal, Fatima,
Akita, and Medjugorje. The last four apparitions are explained
at http://www.PDTsigns.com

A good article reminding us of how Mary is our Blessed Mother and
here to help us in these times. For skeptics that claim the
Miracle of the Sun was a UFO please explain the visions the children
received of hell and the fulfilled prophecies the end of WWI, WWII
preceded by a great sign in the sky and how the whole event was a
plea to return to God, turn away from sin, and for repentance.

A lot of end of days prophecy make you think time is very
short. Well in many ways things are happening fast.
However, Terry Bennett visions cover the years out to 2028 and he
says he does not see the end of the world after that.
Rick Wyles of Trunews, whom I trust as one of the most important
spokesmen of these days, says the Lord told him to prepare his
ministry out to 2030. Rick says he doesn't know what happens
then either. Check out this mp3 of them conversing

Catholic prophecy speaks of the intermediate coming.
That Jesus will not come bodily to reign at this time. Mark
Mallett has a very interesting compilation of what the Church
fathers and approved prophets of these times believe will be the
Intermediate Coming of Jesus Christ. It is a little long
but worthy read:
http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-middle-coming/
The Intermediate Coming is when Jesus comes in spirit and power,
the end of an age of the greatest purification and the beginning
of an era of peace and love; not the final coming. This
will be the end of the reign of Satan's century given to him to
test humanity.

Then there will be a golden era of peace before before the final
judgement; the length of that era

Here is an interesting link to a locution from 1981 that predicted
the internet and a potential wonderful future of medicine and
technology:

It comes from Maria Esparanza whom you can find on the PDTsigns home
page. She was an approved mystic who suffered stigmata on Good
Fridays and was known to, more than once, have a beautiful rose
sprout from her chest.

Also, the promise of a new Golden Era after the 100 year reign of
Satan:[Feedback to SpiritDaily from Rev. Emanuel
Burgos: "I'm a pastor who has been following your site for over
a decade. In reading your last 'Special
Report,' I believe that you should consider writing an
article about 2017. I know that you are 'skeptical' of dates,
but the year 2017 has appeared in several of your articles on Spirit
Daily.www.PDTsigns.com/1917.html

A very good writing by Mark Mallett explaining the times
in that we are living:

WE are not facing the end of the world. In fact, we are
not even facing the last tribulations of the Church. What we are
facing is the final confrontation in a long history of
confrontations between Satan and Christ’s Church: a battle for one
or the other to establish their kingdom on earth. St.
John Paul II summed it up this way:

We are now standing in the face
of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone
through. I do not think that wide circles of the American
society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this
fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the
Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the
anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of
divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church, and the
Polish Church in particular, must take up. It is a trial of not
only our nation and the Church, but in a sense a test of 2,000
years of culture and Christian civilization, with all of its
consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights
and the rights of nations. —Cardinal Karol Wojtyla

Rick Wyles of Trunews.com has a daily audiocast on the internet
that can also be downloaded to your device. He is an
unmuzzled speaker of the truth with prophetic messages for the
United States. I've been listening to him since he first
started broadcasting on the internet in the late 1990's and am
convinced that his few visions are truly from the Lord and are
warnings of things to come unless there is repentance en masse.
(His visions and dreams have been confirmed by identical dreams
to his daughter the same night, for instance.) Through the years
he has said that he was told by the Lord that when we get to the
critical stage, in the end of this era, he would be given a TV
audience. Ominously, this is happening. Catch the
August 17th episode at
http://www.trunews.com/monday-august-17-2015-rick-wiles-on-jim-bakker/
He is the voice of truth at this time where the media is being
censored and our Catholic priests and protestant ministers as a
whole are being silent about the anti-Christian juggernaut that
is oppressing our world. Although he is not Catholic I am
sure many of his listeners are and his message is too important
to miss.
+ + +

+ + +Must listen and reading, for you and yours, NOW. I've
been doing this for 30 years and now is the time to pay attention:A number of people that I have listened to for over a decade,
separate in manner but somehow voicing the same messages, have
gathered in what I think is a spiritually inspired union of modern
day prophets. Rick Wiles from Trunews.com brought these people
together including Steve Quayle. Both of these people are
absolutely connected to some of the most powerful men in the world
that are leaking news to those they feel they can trust to get the
news out. Must listen mp3's. Go to
trunews.com and click on the listen_now button on the left.
The shows were broadcast on April 18, 19, and 20, 2012. Maybe
start with the 19th if you want to hear Steve and Rick.

Following is the intro (which links to a free video at Masters
website) to the CoasttoCoastam.com show featuring Marshall
Masters. Caution, from the Christian
perspective, Marshall is New Age (not Christ focused) but
his research into near future events is notable. Also, the
Avebury crop circle he talks about is, in the opinion of this
site, truly not man-made, could be from...(don't lose me here,
I've been at this for nearly 3 decades)... fallen angels; a
prelude to the great deception spoken of in the bible.

from Coasttocoastam: Author and publisher Marshall Masters
specializes in Planet X and 2012 research. He discussed a specific
crop circle, seen in Avebury Manor, UK in
2008 that depicts the planets in our solar system in the position
they'll be in on December 21, 2012. According to his decoding of
the crop formation's message, "we're going to see what appears to
be a second sun in the sky...and there's going to be a horrific
solar storm, somewhat similar to the one portrayed in the movie Knowing,
and it's going to be devastating for us," he warned. Masters
believes ETs have sent this message via a crop circle in order to
circumvent government suppression of the dire information.

The depiction in the Avebury crop circle indicates an incoming
object in our solar system in Dec. 2012, arriving on a steep
elliptical orbit, and a solar eruption extending as far out as
Venus, he continued. Solar events will be even more damaging in
2013, and the grid will likely go down, leaving millions of
Americans without power for many months, and even longer for the
Third World nations, Masters continued. During the worse solar
storms, the populace should be prepared to go underground, but in
lieu of that, people should note where cell phone reception is
weakest or non-existent, as these will be safer spots to be when
the storm hits, he commented.

Masters also related Edgar Cayce's pole shift prediction, Ed
Dames' remote viewed Solar Killshot, and other prophecies to the
Avebury message, and believes we're already seeing advance signs,
such as increased earthquakes, of the coming global cataclysm. He
has made available, his video, Two
Suns in the Sky, for free viewing.

The Day of the Lord Is Almost Upon Us

A
message to Augusto Perez, theappearance.com on
8/27/2011. Also read his newsletter describing how the
alignment of the planets and comet Elenin on Sept. 29th (the
day of the Jewish feast Rosh Hashana, Rosh Hashanah is the "no man knows
the day or hour" festival and the feast of trumpets) is a fulfilment
of Revelation 12, Rev 6:12-14 and Rev. 8 and 9. From the
report on CNN, see previous possting, the earth could
experience large earthquakes in an envelope of 3 days plus or
minus and the earth will also pass through Elenin's tail on
November 10-11 which could produce large fireballs and
the 3 days of darkness. Newsletter: http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/13503381/255672286/name/April-June.pdf

8/27/2011
message:
I was still in my bed, when I was awakened by the Spirit of
the Lord as began saying these words to me: "There are
things about to happen that will make many people wish that
the Day of the Lord was already gone, but it is only
beginning". As I was completely awake, I realized these
words were still resounding in my spirit and in my head.

The last
time I experienced this was in December when He warned me that
there would be an event of major proportions taking place in
2011 in the United Nations that would facilitate and usher in
the New World Order and that there would be a nuclear attack
on America.

Interpretation:

This is a sober warning
that The Day of the Lord is almost upon us. We are in
the calm before the storm. I would encourage every
believer in Yeshua to get as close to Him as you
can, preparing through a season of fastings and
prayers for the things about to take place. There
is no need to fear if we are prepared spiritually, mentally
and physically. Walk in His Shalom, not in fear.
Put your eyes on Him and not on the things that are about to
take place all around you. He will take care of His
own.

However,
there are ominous events about to happen on this September
involving the United Nations and the dividing of the land of
Israel. This is not good; the Lord is very angry
because that is His land, and the city of Jerusalem is His
City; The City of God. Keep your eyes on the United
Nations Building and New York City. The
recent earthquake that rocked New York and Washington
damaging several monuments in Washington DC, and Hurricane
Irene that hit the New York and New England areas was just a
warning shot across the bow from Papa.

Things
that have survived hundred of years, yeah even things that
survived thousands of years are about to be destroyed.
Everything that does not belong to the Father, nothing that
He has not built will be plucked up, thrown down and
destroyed. He is about to do a quick, marvelous work
through His endtime remnant, those that are His hidden ones,
the illuminated ones that will rise in power and
glory. There will be no more delay. D-Day is
coming; behold, the Son of the Creator comes.

Warning for the rest of 2011 and a signal to the end of
days... a report published on CNN iReport, a CNN site that
allows users to post. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-640370
This report explains how comet Elenin alignments have possibly
caused many significant earthquakes in the last couple years, how
it's getting MUCH closer to this fall with several alignments,
then the earth pathing through its tail of debris. Events all
occurs right on Jewish feast days signalling signs in the heavens as
promised in the bible and possibly the beginning of greater
catastrophic events (in the next few years) and the signalling of
the end of days (not necessarily to be confused with the second
coming of Jesus "bodily" but more so spiritually). More
to be added soon.

The "illumination of conscience" or "Warning" is where God will
reveal to each person the condition of their soul; all the sins they
have committed and how they have hurt others. The Illumination
has been predicted by several saints (most notably St. Faustina) and
at Garabandal http://www.pdtsigns.com/garabandal.html
At Garabandal the Illumination is grouped with The Miracle and The
Chastisement. The seers at Garabandal gave hints as to when
this would happen. There has been speculation every year over
the last decade that "this is the year!" Well, although
this site is wary of "date setting" and has never been successful at
that, we have received an interesting prediction from Chris De Bodt from Belgium. He gives the dates for
the Illumination or Warning and the Miracle. Following
Chris's predictions is an interesting article from
SpiritDaily.com also hinting at the soon fulfilment of these
events and descriptions of what they will be like. Another
PDT favorite, Mark Mallett, gives his input on the matter, and
then a softer side of how we are to come to each other's aid
during these times, through Anne...

SPECULATION ON COMING OF CHRIST, LONG A PROPHETIC THEME, IS REACHING
CRESCENDO

In the years since the French Revolution, there have been numerous
predictions of the Second Coming, or at least some kind of major
manifestation of Christ. Such speculation increased with an
apparition of the Blessed Mother at LaSalette, France, in 1846, then
in the wake of the famous Fatima secrets, and then again in 1948
with the establishment of Israel -- which many see as fulfilling a
major requirement for apocalyptic events.

During the past twenty years, that momentum has reached a crescendo,
in large part because of the occurrence of another major apparition,
Medjugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovina, where, like LaSalette and Fatima,
secret prophecies allegedly have been granted.

The Medjugorje visionaries have never said that the secrets contain
a prediction of the Second Coming, and in fact one, Vicka Ivankovic
Mijatovic, says that while containing predictions of very serious
coming events, the nine confidential prophecies she has been given
do not specifically address the anti-christ, the Second Coming, or
the end of the world (which the Catechism teaches will follow the
Final Coming).

But elsewhere there have been a flurry of just such claims,
including those of St. Faustina Kowalska -- who in 1935 wrote that
she had heard Christ tell her, "'You will prepare the world for My
final coming'" and in 1936 allegedly heard the Blessed Mother say,
"Oh, how pleasing to God is the soul that follows faithfully the
inspirations of His grace! I gave the Savior to the world; as for
you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and
prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him Who will come, not as
a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge."

In 1938 Faustina added a message from Jesus, writing in her diary
that "as I was praying for Poland, I heard the words: 'I bear a
special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I
will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the
spark that will prepare the world for My final coming.'"

The Coming of Jesus also has been mentioned at Church-approved sites
in Kibeho, Rwanda; Betania, Venezuela; and San Nicolas, Argentina,
as well as a flurry of revelations that have never been granted
Church sanction. The same is true in general Christian circles,
where evangelicals, Pentecostals, Baptists, and
nondenominationalists have loudly declared their belief that Christ
is ready to return -- citing developments in Israel, which they
watch like an augury.

The term "second coming" is used in what we have reported as the
"1990 prophecy," an anonymous revelation that thus far has shown
striking accuracy. Said this reputed revelation: "I will come not as
a man of flesh, but like My mother, who already nurses Me and holds
Me in her arms, as a light and power. I will manifest Myself in a
series of supernatural events similar to the apparitions but much
more powerful. In other words, My second coming will be different
than My first, and like My first, it will be spectacular to many but
also unknown initially to many, or disbelieved. Yet truly I tell
you, the arrogance of the world will have been broken, and so many
more than normal will believe. I will come in towering light. My
mother held me in her arms at Medjugorje, as an infant. I will come
as she has come, in light."

Perhaps never before in history -- at least not since the Middle
Ages -- has there been such a surge in prophecy. In medieval times
the prophecy ended up more a portent of chastisement than final
events, coming in the midst of bubonic plague, which devastated a
third of Europe.

Is the same true now? Are the prophecies more a foretelling of
chastisement (which is mentioned at Medjugorje) -- or of something
more cosmic?

The question arises again because of a recent interview with the
seer from Betania, Maria Esperanza, who says that at the least the
world should prepare for a major manifestation. She has referred to
a coming period that will be a "new dawn of Jesus" and has said that
"His coming is near." In more recent interviews she has expended on
this theme and describes visions in which she has seen Jesus appear
in many places from day to day in a way that brings to mind the way
Jesus appeared during the forty days following the Resurrection.
Perhaps significantly, "Betania" means "Bethany."

In her visions, the Venezuelan seer describes Christ as appearing to
many individuals in what seem like manifestations.

"It will be very different than what people think," she says in The
Bridge to Heaven. "He’s going to come in silence. People will
realize He is among us little by little. His first presentation will
be like this, because in those days an innocent person whom He loves
a lot will die, an innocent person. This will shock the world, will
move the world. Many people will believe. He will disappear for some
days and appear again. He will multiply Himself, to assist everyone,
in their homes, because this will be a definite thing. He will come
and knock on every door. And then people will realize it is truly
Him."

The question arises as to whether Esperanza -- whose site of
apparitions was formally approved by the local bishop in 1987 -- is,
like St. Faustina, making reference to the Pope when she mentions "a
person whom He loves a lot." Many have taken the "spark" mentioned
by Faustina as coming from Poland to be John Paul II -- who never
has publicly foreseen the Second Coming himself but who has referred
to our times as apocalyptic in the sense of the Church versus the
anti-Church and good versus evil.

Esperanza does not describe it as a "final coming," but makes clear
that major events and transformations are on the way and that the
appearance of Jesus, however it is termed, will be preceded by major
events.

Second Coming? Final Coming? A manifestation? Clearly, however we
term it, and however it does or does not meet our preconceptions,
something major, something historic, and something unusual, is ready
to occur, in all likelihood within the lifetimes of many reading
this.

==================================================

AT THE BRINK OF WAR, MAN WHO CORRECTLY FORESAW 9/11 OFFERS NEW
PREDICTION

Ned Dougherty

www.spiritdaily.com

Ned Dougherty, a Catholic famous for a near-death experience during
which he was given prophecies (including one that foretold terrorist
attacks in Washington and New York), has issued a stark warning for
the coming period of military action. We submit it for your
discernment. Like any other such prediction, it should be considered
and then prayed about, not become a center of any obsession. With
prayer -- and Christ -- there is always more light and hope than
darkness.

But we are in a period of potentially prophetic times, and heeding
Scripture, we will consider certain prophecies in the coming days,
emphasizing that such predictions seem to involve scenarios of what
would happen if the world continued in the state it was in at the
moment of the prophecy. As another person with a similar experience
once said, "During my experience, I was also shown events that are
likely to happen in the near future, but was made to understand that
nothing is absolutely fixed and that everything depends on how we
choose to use our own free will, that even those events that are
already predestined can be changed or modified by a change in our
own way of relating to them. A successful prophecy is one that
changes enough people to sufficiently prevent the prophecy from
actually happening."

Nonetheless, the prophecies are of a serious nature. Dougherty, who
now lives in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, as well as Long Island, once
owned Club Marakesh, the hottest nightclub in the New York City
suburb of the Hamptons (home to the super-rich) and a second
nightspot in West Palm Beach, living the glamorous life of limos,
models, celebrities, seaplanes, and Dom Perignon champagne [see
original story].

All that changed on July 2, 1984, when something happened to him
like a heart attack or a stroke and Dougherty found himself
collapsing on the sidewalk outside his club.

According to Ned, he felt like he was "floating, suspended in a
black, pit." As he was suspended in air he saw a "kaleidoscopic
review" of his lifestyle and possessions, which then vaporized.
Suddenly a mass of energy formed over him in the sky and shaped
itself into a cylinder funneling upwards. He was drawn into another
realm -- a realm in which he saw deceased loved ones, a realm in
which he was enveloped by the Light of God.

It was during this experience -- which has transformed his life (he
is now a daily communicant) -- that Dougherty asserts he encountered
a Lady in light who stood next to a large globe of the earth and
began to speak to him about the future of the world. Later, he
believes he was spoken to by the Archangel Michael.

Referring to a book he wrote about the experience and a chapter on
what he calls "future visions," Dougherty, in an e-mail this week to
those who have followed his reputed revelations, states: "Many of
you who have already read Fast Lane to Heaven know that we are now
facing events more terrible than we ever expected to see in our
lifetimes. Many of you have been returning to the book to read the
'future visions' recognizing that today's current events are all
contained in the book. Following the near-death experience in which
I was shown these future visions in 1984, even I thought that the
world would never be reduced to the loss of spirituality and level
of insanity in which we find ourselves today while at the brink of
war.

"I was shown a vision of a large plateau in the Middle East. The
plateau was surrounded by a dusty, dry, and barren region that
seemed to be deserted and devoid of any life. I was told that future
events at this location in the Middle East would start a chain
reaction of man-made catastrophic events, first in the Middle East,
then in Africa and Europe, followed by events in Russia and China.
We are now at that point where it appears that mankind will cause a
chain reaction of catastrophic events resulting in incredible
devastation.

"As a human being and an American, I find myself conflicted with my
true spiritual nature. I want to support our country, our president,
and our troops who are now clearly in harm's way, but in my essence
I am a spiritual being and know that violence will never solve the
problems of the world.

"I find myself most conflicted by the Archangel Michael's Message
(pages 172-174) which is clearly a warning to the people of the
United States of America. We want to believe that the United States
is doing 'the right thing' and that President Bush is truly acting
by divine inspiration with a clear mandate in the course in which he
leads us. But I have my doubts because of what I have been shown
will happen if the prosecution of this war results in tremendous
death and destruction.

"The Lady of Light told me that none of these future events need
take place if mankind began to recognize and work with God's plan.
The way to understand and work with God's plan is through prayer and
meditation; through prayer to call out to God, and through
meditation to hear His message.

"I was told that the world could be saved, not by its leaders, but
by prayer groups throughout the world. I was told that the prayers
of twenty could save a nation from war. I was told that the fate of
mankind rested on our ability, individually and collectively, to
change the direction of mankind in accordance with God's plan.

"So what can we do?

"Very simply, we can pray. We can ask ourselves what Jesus would do.
Perhaps we can throw our hands up in prayer and beg for His return.
Perhaps He will choose this moment in eternity to return and stop
the insanity. Now that's something to pray for!

"From page 258: 'The future of the world is in our hands. The right
choice is obvious. If each and every individual aspires to lead a
life of love of God, self and neighbor, collectively mankind has the
ability to determine the future of the world and to choose our
destiny as a civilization. Individually we have the responsibility
to do our part to achieve a future for mankind that is in accordance
with God's plan. It is not for us to question whether or not God
will allow cataclysmic events to devastate humanity. If the future
of the world is doomed, it is of our own making. It must be a
determination for us, individually and collectively, to change the
course of events. God is making Himself available to us through His
Holy Spirit to give us the courage, strength and wisdom to
change the course of future events for the betterment of mankind.'

Dougherty ends his latest missive: "PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!"

Whatever else we may agree or disagree with in such experiences and
such prophecies, we can only second that motion.

CLAIMED NEAR-DEATH PROPHECIES FORESEE TIME OF GREAT NATURAL
DISTURBANCES

www.spiritdaily.com
A while back we carried the account of a New York man who had what
researchers refer to as "near-death" experiences. Simply put, he
"died" and -- like so many others these days -- came back to tell
about it. The event was so profound that, although it took some
time, it set him on the path from owning a large nightclub in New
York's most lavish suburb to a simpler life today as a daily
Catholic churchgoer.
We were interested in that account [see previous story] because
during his alleged experience he was shown future events and
among them were the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
We can't vouch for every such experience. Like apparitions, they
must be discerned. But they are interesting and in many ways similar
to reputed prophecies from the Virgin Mary. Recent studies in
Holland indicate that at least seven million people have had similar
experiences, and a good number come back with what they believe are
glimpses of the future -- and warnings.
How many are real? How many are good? How many can we take
seriously?

There is for example Dr. George Ritchie, who "died" of
pneumonia and claims to have encountered Jesus. "He opened a
corridor through time which showed me increasing natural
disasters coming upon this earth," claimed Dr. Ritchie.
"There were more and more hurricanes and floods occurring over
different areas of our planet. The earthquakes and volcanoes were
increasing. We were becoming more and more selfish and
self-righteous. Families were splitting, governments were breaking
apart because people were thinking only of themselves. I saw
armies marching on the United States from the south and explosions
occurring over the entire world that were of a magnitude beyond my
capacity to imagine. I realized if they continued, human life as
we have known it could not continue to exist. Suddenly this
corridor was closed off and a second corridor started to open
through time. At the beginning they appeared very similar but the
further the second one unfolded, the more different it became. The
planet grew more peaceful. Humanity and nature both were better.
Humanity was not as critical of themselves or others. They were
not as destructive of nature and they were beginning to understand
what love is. The Lord sent the mental message to me, 'It is left
to humanity which direction he shall choose. I came to this planet
to show you through the life I led how to love. Without OUR FATHER
you can do nothing, neither could I. I showed you this. You have
45 years.'"
Ritchie's experience occurred in 1942, and indeed it was 45 years
later -- in the later 1980s -- that the current trend toward
enhanced natural disasters seems to have gained its current
momentum.

We heard the same from Sondra Abrahams,
a devoutly Catholic Louisiana woman who "died" of an allergic
reaction in 1970. She says Jesus showed her a crisis with abortion
(three years before Roe versus Wade) and also what she once
described as "duplication" (but now knows as "cloning"). She was
warned that these and other sins would lead mankind onto the road
of purification.

Similar too was a former atheist named Howard Storm of Ohio
who "died" in Paris in 1985 and was shown that the U.S. was on the
verge of events that over the course of 100 to 200 years would
break it down to a far simpler and more natural state because of
its current waywardness. (The former atheist, who says a nun's
prayers saved him, is now a minister!)

Many are those who see natural disasters. "I have seen the
destruction earthquakes create," claims Elaine Durham, "Just watch
the Pacific Rim. The Pacific Rim is really going to take a
beating. I had knowledge of icebergs breaking up and moving into
warmer waters. The melting of them raised the water table."

We don't know what to make of specific prophecies. There are
those who foresee great quakes not only on the Pacific rim, but on
the East Coast -- in surprising places. There are those who see a
great geomagnetic change in the earth, including a switch in its
very poles. There are those who see a complete breakdown in our
infrastructure. This is not "doomsday." It is not the end of the
world. It is what they describe as a purification, and one that
may still be lessened with conversion.
"The vision of the future I received during my near-death
experience was one of tremendous upheaval in the world as a result
of our general ignorance of the ‘true' reality," claims another.
Reinee Pasarow, who had her alleged experience in 1967, when she
was only 16. "I was informed that mankind was breaking the laws of
the universe and as a result of this would suffer. This suffering
was not due to the vengeance of an indignant God but rather like
the pain one might suffer as a result of arrogantly defying the
law of gravity."

From this, they claim, mankind will emerge humbler and more
peaceful, as well as holier than the arrogance we see today.
There were visions of severe droughts, and volcanic eruptions in
places like Hawaii -- eruptions that would be a reflection of
social upheaval. There would be freak storms (which we have
already seen in abundance). "The weather is going to be crazy,"
said one prophecy published in 1984, but after a long dark
"hour" -- after a long series of tumultuous events -- humanity
would be born anew and humbled.
Such prophecies, at least as they relate to climate and wars, are
similar to apparitions of the Virgin Mary in places such as
Nicaragua, Argentina, Venezuela, Japan, and the United States
which have foreseen natural and military upheaval -- followed by
the glory of Jesus. Does that mean the "second coming"? There have
been both near-death experiencers and Marian apparitions that have
claimed this, and we'll be exploring it shortly. One has to be
cautious. There is much deception in our time, as we have
constantly warned. Often, near-death experiences get tangled in
the same problems we have seen with certain apparitions.
But such experiences have been recorded since Pope Gregory the
Great (who kept a personal file) and there is also such a thing as
legitimate prophecy, which is as old as the Old Testament.

Quakes? An asteroid scare? Melting icebergs?
"I was also shown events that are likely to happen in the near
future, but was made to understand that nothing is absolutely
fixed and that everything depends on how we choose to use our own
free will, that even those events that are already predestined can
be changed or modified by our change in our own way of relating to
them," said another who "died" and came back with a vision.

For a May 2002 update see: http://www.spiritdaily.com/tornadoes.htm
and also from Spirit Daily: Ned Dougherty clinically
"died" from respiratory or cardiac arrest on July 2, 1984, and
during that episode allegedly had an experience with the hereafter
and a heavenly entity he identifies as theVirgin Mary His
prophecies also correctly foresaw episodes in his life. Dougherty
had predicted that "a major terrorist attack may befall New York
City or Washington, D.C., severely impacting the way we live in
the United States" -- a prediction that has been fulfilled in only
too obvious a fashion.It's called The Fast Lane to Heaven, and
it's about Ned Dougherty, n July 2, 1984, something happened to
him, something like a heart attack or a stroke, According to
Dougherty (and remember, this is in a book that came out in March
2001), the "Lady of Light" -- who he would later identify as the
Virgin Mary -- showed him events that would first happen in the
Middle East and
then Italy. "I was told that these events would be acts of
'aggression,terrorism, and war, performed by self-proclaimed
radical groups, supposedly in the name of God," he wrote before
the events of September 11. Dougherty flatly predicted that
"terrorist attacks and acts of war and aggression
will continue to plague the Middle East, Africa, and Europe." He
was shown a future in which violence would spread from the Middle
East to Europe, and then to the former Soviet Union and to the Far
East -- particularly China.
The greatest threat, he was shown, would come from China and a
"two
hundred million army" (see Revelation 9:16). "The Lady of Light
specifically told me, 'Pray for the conversion of China,'" claims
Dougherty. "'The conversion of China to God is necessary for the
salvation of the world.'"
But most remarkable was what Dougherty had been told about the
U.S. "While acts of terrorism and war and political unrest plague
the Eastern Hemisphere, the Western Hemisphere will be spared the
worst of the terrorism," he was told. "However, a major terrorist
attack may befall New York City or Washington, D.C., severely
impacting the way we live in the United States."
Remember, this was recorded in a book released six
months before the attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center!
Dougherty sees aggression in the Middle East, China, Africa, and
Europe, while the Western Hemisphere encounters natural disasters.
He says that without prayer and a strong return to a pro-life
society, there will be destruction in New York by natural
disasters, which he sees for the entire country and both coasts.
"Freakish, erratic, and unseasonable weather patterns will create
severe tidal flooding and erosion," Dougherty asserts in Fast Lane
to Heaven. "There will be devastating tornadoes and wind storms;
severe winter conditions with record snowfalls and freezing
temperatures; record summer heat waves with severe drought; and an
increase in destructive storms and hurricanes." Dougherty is
not talking about mere "signs of the times." He says he was shown
visions of massive events and claims that he was shown that the
banking and financial institutions could collapse "due in large
part to the failure of the insurance companies as a result of
natural disasters." (Matching Theresa Neuman) If there is
not a radical conversion -- and a great proliferation of prayer
groups -- he foresees events that will affect both coasts. He says
he was shown terrific ocean surges in Manhattan, on Long Island,
and in Florida (at a bridge he believes is that span between the
mainland and Key Biscayne). He believes that in the future coastal
and other low-lying or unstable areas will diminish in population
while mountainous and other "stable" areas become more desirable.
It's his further belief that the "critical period of transition"
will be completed prior to the year 2034. This struck home because
there has long been the speculation that while events may occur
throughout this century, major ones will be seen between now and
2040 based on the longevity of the seers at Medjugorje (who
are currently in their thirties and who say that they will live to
see the secrets). Dougherty believes that spiritually-minded
people "will be drawn together to create self-supporting and
self-sustaining communities" and will serve as the architect's for
God's plan -- which is at great odds with a world of abortion,
immorality, and materialism. As for the Vatican, "I believe that a
similar terrorist attack will occur in the future in Italy,
specifically in Rome. I believe that a fanatical religious group
on a much larger scale will conduct the attack although it will be
directed against one world leader. The focus of the attack will be
upon the Vatican and the papacy."

Businessman who purchased the land where Sister Neuzil
resided for many years, in a convent.
Among the messages that Sister Neuzil received while living there
was that the convent and land would fall into the hands of those
not of the faith but that at the end of the century it would be
reclaimed by a Catholic. This prophecy proved true when the
convent was shut down and the entire property sold to a
'moonie'-type cult in the early 70's. Then in the late 90's Larry
Young, a Catholic businessman bought the property. Now Young
reports receiving an ominous message of the enemy in our midst
ready to reign terror upon us. This
message was conveyed to www.spiritdaily.com shortly before the
World Trade Center attack.

@Spirit Daily
A couple months ago Larry Young, a businessman who has purchased
Sylvan Springs in Indiana, site of the first apparition to Sister
Mildred Mary Neuzil (of the "Our Lady of America" apparitions),
told us of a "message" he himself had felt he received from the
Virgin Mary. We don't carry every private revelation, but we
believe the Spirit speaks to us all and we asked him to confirm
the details because it had been accurate -- prescient -- and
because he had told us of it just before the September 11 attack.
He does not pretend to be a seer, but does have certain mystical
experiences. His recollection, in more detail, presented for your
discernment, along with two other letters:

Hello Michael,
Yes I was told about a war on our own soil...that was the
message in May..."the soldiers are already here...this war will be
fought on you own soil and many will die... this will be a war
like no other...the
enemy is 'the evil one'... your children will be targets." There
has never been a battle of this magnitude involving good versus
evil in the history of humankind!
I was told this was an attempt to break the will of our people to
resist evil's great push to bring about the total destruction and
annihilation of Israel... if they strike fear into the hearts of
the American public they hope to paralyze us into not defending
Israel as the evil nations look to destroy her. That is the real
target here... Israel. It is not grou ation that is working alone,
but several groups and nations that are working quietly together
to bring this about. A very powerful message was delivered a
week ago Monday by Our Lady:
"Please. Follow the leader, Follow the leader, Follow The
Leader!
WHATEVER happens...Do Not Be Afraid! Do Not Be Afraid!
DO NOT BE AFRAID!"
She was very emphatic!! She went on to say...
"Continue to Pray The Rosary as you have... more will be coming to
pray with you. This will be a place of safety for all those who
seek the promises of Our Lord. Always remember, prayer is
the only true peacemaker!" She then said, "Until all nations are
united in prayer, there will be no true peace."(You could truly
feel the passion in her, the Virgin Mary's
(alleged) words...and she continues to say, "Please"
(Imagine how humbling that is.) There are many more soldiers
in our midst... these soldiers have devious plans to rain terror
down upon our country... I feel they will be attacking our
children in great numbers in the hopes of creating the greatest
fear.
Our Lady did say she was with our President... I think his
address to the nation was testament to that!
God will make good out of all of this... it is hard to
reason, but these terrorist attacks, and the heinous acts which
are still to come, may actually be the catalyst that brings about
the salvation of the world. All people uniting in prayer and
learning the true focus of their lives... giving glory to God!
